yes, i really loved the one hair boy. 😭💜 most times, we always look for things we want cos it's human nature to be insatiable. but the truth is that oftentimes, we forget what we have so instead of happiness, we usually end up with discontent... and that's just sad.

[@zeenath6698]

The little match stick girl is actually about a poor orphan who sold matches to make a living and one day in the winter time it's really cold at night so she keeps lighting the matches she has to sell to keep her warm and each time she lights one she imagines(?) she has food, shelter, a family etc. basically at the end she runs out of matches falls asleep and freezes to death 💀

[@honeygracecastromayor6839]

This is a children storiy? What was the author thinking at that moment.

[@CheeseuMoi_]

I know it's way too late to answer, but probably it was that type of history that wanted to increase empathy during certain periods of history. Like, people used to think that poor and homeless people were dying on the streets because they deserved it, didn't matter the reasons behind it. Maybe it was also a way to open people's eyes to the reality of so many children being in really bad conditions just for being born, just like the match stick girl and many times even worse :( Sorry if I have misspellings or if something isn't understandable ;; I'm not fluent.

Yes jungkook is an amazing artist, and he actually gets that from his family. His dad is really good at drawing, and I remember seeing a portrait his dad drew of jungkook. The portrait looked so realistic and was very impressive. Jungkook’s brother does more digital art, and I believe he has an Instagram account where you can see some of his art. His family is very talented, and that definitely plays a part in why jungkook is so gifted.

[@anagi5561]

Jin is a genius actually he is just a humble and so chill guy... but he's actually so intelligent. imagine continuously taking his class as college student until his masteral as MBA while doin his all activities as BTS... 😊😊😊💜💜💜

[@shweta7503]

Jin was so good in this episode and as always funny and yes Jungkook is an excellent painter and artist he can sketch,paint and even design stuff there are lots of instances and videos portraying his talent He painted during In the Soop and once he made an amazing drawing in a white board with marker and he reproduced a burnt painting used in the Wings short films he is brilliant.... Jimin is also good at drawing

Jin actually loves reading story book. According to him when he was a child he reads a lot of children's book.

[@lela1002]

Jungkook dying over "Peupeu" is the cutest thing ever!

[@nalishachetty7287]

The fact that their stories had educational meanings was so amazing. This was such a great episode.

[@phoebeahn8941]

For those of you who don't know. There's different dialects in different Korean provinces. It's called satoori and if like the English equivalent of an accent. Based on where you're from, your sentence intonation could climb up or down. That's why at 5:01 Jimin was messing around with the sentence in satoori 😂

[@itsskye003]

Jin killed it with the stories in this episode 😆

[@samaygutierrezgutierrez9073]

Jin is amazing, he is such a creative guy, he even draw the boy, amazing 😍. All of them are incredible 😂

Jin is major in acting when he was in college, so he can make a story easily as machine😂

[@Tsetse249]

Korean webcomics are called Manhwa and they are really, really popular all over the world. Manhwa's have all kind of genre like manga and they are fully colored with amazing graphics. BTS even have their own webtoon called "Save me" which is related to the Bangtan Universe and "7 fates CHAKHO" which started recently and a supernatural action webcomic.

[@hkllm9899]

Yes, they do have their own form of manga in S.Korea. They also have webtoons there as well. It's called manhwa and it's really big there. It's colored and done in long strips which makes it different from manga. One of the most popular manhwa is Solo Leveling. It's popular worldwide as well.

[@twoohugs]

I think the message from "the little match girl" is either "have compassion and be charitable", because the girl's suffering is a result of her dad's cruelty and the passerby's apathy; or "there is hope and happiness even in suffering", since the little girl died in warmth and happiness despite her misery. I used to think this is a very sad story, but as I grew up I realized this could be considered a happy ending for the little girl, because surviving means she would continue to be abused by her dad, while dying means she is now in the warm and loving embrace of her grandmother. (at least in the version I read, in the end there is an illustration of her grandmother welcoming her in heaven.)

[@danielamino3800]

I really loved Jin's story it was so cute! Thay all did such a great job

[@NadNadToday]

Yeah the little match girl is really a sad story for kids. It was the first English children's story that I read when I was in elementary school because English is not my first language, I read it because the English teacher gave me the task to do story telling in front of my class. And after reading that story, I cried a lot😭 but I still chose that story for my speaking test🥲

[@KARMA_Camilla]

Funnily enough, the story is not actually an English story. It was written by Danish poet and author H. C. Andersen who also wrote The little mermaid, The ugly duckling, The Snow Queen, The Emperor's New Clothes, Thumbelina, and a bunch more fairytales. H. C Andersen is officially recognized as a National Treasure here in Denmark. :)

[@moonlightmoonchild1133]

32:12 webtoons and manga comics are very popular in korea!!! especially webtoons, because they actual platform "webtoon" was created by a south korean company. btw bts has two webtoons there🌚

[@gold_coin7]

The moral in “The little Match girl”: the world sometimes isn’t fair. She was poor orphan girl and tried to work as a match seller. She worked hard but didn’t made it at the end. She had dreams about loving family, cosy home and delicious food. At the end she chose “the dream world” where she’s happy and well-fed instead of a cruel reality. Sometimes people just can’t find strength to live and we shouldn’t judge them.

[@mjbangtan3777]

[@ccx7004]

Oh no, you made me cry too when you were talking about the little match girl! Growing up in europe, I know all the fairytales you mentioned too, most of the famous western fairytales come from Germany, France or Denmark or places in those regions (Grimm Brothers, Hans Christian Andersen, etc). I hadn’t heard of the korean stories they mentioned though! Jin is great at improv and thinking on his feet, he’s super creative like that. Thanks for this, I loved this episode so much 😂💜

[@TapMu5ic]

Yayy another bts video from you guys💜 just recently joined your patreon and excited for Bon voyage + can't wait to see what other content/bts series you will be reacting to 😊 Their documentary series "Burn The Stage", then "Bring The Soul" and "Break The Silence" would be something interesting and different to react to alongside Run BTS and the Bon Voyage series. The documentaries focus more on the serious side of their job and it's nice the hear their thoughts in them, learn about their personal struggles and growth

A Dog of Flanders is a novel about a kid and his dog (the dog is Patrasche). It's from an English author but somehow it's pretty well known in several Asian countries, with lots of film and animation adaptations. I don't remember a wolf there but maybe they've seen/read a different adaptation

[@anagi5561]

31:30 if you guys are thinking why BTS are seems used into drawings or creating story telling activities like this...well maybe because at some of their contents, sample like their Summer or Winter Packages videos, they had their own activities like creating a drawing diaries about their activity for that day, or InTheSoop they been given freedom to have a time to create their own paintings... what iam saying is, BigHit or Hybe always makes sure their artists creativities are not just limited in music creations... and i always love them when they are showing their different sides of these talents... :)

[@ayannasuresh8012]

Loved the reacting, it was very entertaining to watch!! If you guys take suggestions, you should check out RUN BTS EP151 and EP152. Its full of bts singing beautifully and them laughing and just overall good vibes all the way through, highly recommed :)

[@lela1002]

Correct me if I'm wrong but "The Little Match Girl" is a fairytale and I don't think fairytales ALWAYS have a moral? That's more fables I think. Also it's from Hans Christian Anderson who also wrote "The Little Mermaid" (the original not the disney version). That guys seems to love really sad stories..

[@MsSaby97]

In 2020 around the time of their 7th anniversary Suga had a radio show on vlive once a week where he invited one BTS member and together they read one childrens story (and also chatted a little). And then in the end he had all BTS members read a story together. Since it was a proper radio show there is only sound. But for the last story read they also filmed the behind the scenes and released it on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZDIZ52VorWEn9E And since this was filmed at the end of 2020 while Suga was recovering, this episode was probably inspired by that weekly radio show Suga had

[@alexis.george]

5:20 You guys are correct! I like how quick on your feet you both are 😁 South Korea has dialects depending on the region you're from! None of the BTS members are from Seoul, aka the capital city where the way of speaking is very clear and "modernized", so they all have different dialects (with certain slangs and intonations). Someone correct me on this, but only Jin and RM live somewhat closer to Seoul so they don't have as distinct of an accent. J-Hope is from Jeolla-do Province, where the dialect sounds friendly and sing-songy to foreign ears. Which is hilariously fitting for him 🤣 Meanwhile, Jimin and Jungkook are both from Busan where the stereotype for men is very masculine and confident, and you will hear these two speak like that unconsciously or as a joke! (You can hear their Busan accents here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5iQqqGXqMZqmNk ). As for V and Suga, they're both from Daegu, which is (probably incorrectly) dubbed as "the hood of South Korea" - although it IS true that these two are the ones who are the most street-smart, and also the ones who started out very poor (all of them were honestly). Daegu men are stereotypically very straight-forward and abrasive, and it manifests in how savage these two can be at times (Savage Taehyung here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXe5e3h9j5V1qsk) 😎 Lastly: soulmates-Vmin playing around with their accents and reminiscing on their early school days: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ7FdXZmiKqIbrM 💜

[@MarinaEariel]

You're right, the cities where RM and Jin came from are near Seoul. I read Ilsan (RM's city) is almost a "dorm city" for Seoul because most of their citizens work there

At 32:27 yeah comics are big in Korea. Like how in Japan theirs are called manga while in Korea they’re called manhwa (like a manga but it’s from Korea) or webcomics (they’re read vertically/scrolling unlike a manga where it’s style is page by page like a book).

The little match girl is a ridiculously sad story, I rmbr sobbing reading it as a child. Theres the little girl and she keeps lighting a match to keep herself warm in the cold and every time she lights a match she sees a happy family, and then she runs out of matches and freezes to death. Im pretty sure the moral is something like "Don't ever take the things you have for granted. Things like food, shelter, and family that love you". Its a fucking tragic story, Stephanie crying about it is such a MOOD.

[@yoonjimin9227]
